I'm not surprised. It's extremely accessible in ways I wouldn't necessarily find engaging anymore given my very scarce time for watching media but that kind of accessibility is perfect for a show in a desired second language
Also the humor is very...basic. My theory is a show like Seinfeld with it's double and triple meanings didn't get popular abroad, but Friends and How I met Your Mother did.
I think the simplicity of the humor is the reason.
